I'm sure some of the Harry Potter magic was lost on us as we all grew up, but yeah, the latter books in the series are pretty terrible. I read the first 5 and never gave a shit enough to get around to read the 6th or 7th. Probably will reread the series at some point...like too my future kids, haha. Harry is a whiny bitch and the books have an incredibly predictable formula.

Formula:

Harry starts out at his foster house, there are problems > Harry prepares to go to Hogwarts (usually some intermediate step takes place) > Harry goes to Hogwarts, life sucks > Problem ensues (usually theme of book) > Harry fights with his close friends and becomes emo bitch > Harry makes up with close friends they solve problem > Harry leaves to go home for summer

Rinse. Repeat. Make a lot of money if you're JK Rowling.

Understandably, they ARE kid books. So we shouldn't expect top-notch literature per se. Also, Dumbledore is a homosexual. Take that Christians against Harry Potter!!!
